TooEmotional

So Tae Gyeong came back to town after 25 years and his only plan for revenge was to get a confession from the driver who killed his parents? And this is still the plan four years later? He has not even made an effort to make the online business a success, potentially ruining his reputation. Maybe he thought he would not have to stay there for long while he waited for the driver to wake up and it ended up being four years and it's too late? First rule of revenge- make sure you don't go down too. It also does not make sense because he made a deal with Kyung Chae about getting access to confidential company information after the business has been successful for four years. Why did he abandon this deal? Because of Stella? Is she behind this new plan?
Tae Gyeong and Seol Hui clearly need Stella to guide them.

The writers are clearly using the failed business as a plot point to bring Seol Hui close to Tae Gyeong. She will likely work from his office and help with the business. If we are going according to her definition of fate- they met for the first time, by accident, when she hit him with her scooter; the second time, coincidentally, outside the hotel; and thirdly, they will meet at Mingang. If he is working with Stella, I wonder if she told her about him or will she be surprised to see him there? Or maybe she came across him during her investigation of the company.

In the preview, Kyung Chae told her Dad that she came back from the US because he promised her the company. She might have met Stella's son there and maybe she came back pregnant?
Kyung Chae seems to have a soft spot for Tae Gyeong which seems to go beyond an attraction. Did she know him in the US? Or was he a friend of Stella's son?

I can't believe that Kyung Chae actually talked about how everything she does is lawful and complained how fake news can get people killed. No conscience, at all.

Interesting fact: the Chairman's deceased wife's surname is Jung. Is this why Stella gave Seol Hui the name, Lucia Jung?

Judging from the smile she had on her face when she turned to face him, I think she wanted Seon Jae to recognise her- which may be one of the reasons why she only had a mini-makeover. Obviously, she will deny being Seol Hui for a while, but I think she wanted to show him that she has achieved the level of success that he has been trying to achieve for 20 years, in four years. A good first round of revenge for him.

I think the second person to recognise her will be Tae Gyeog. He might blurt out, "Mi So's Mom", when he sees her, causing her mask to fall partially. But I also think he might recognise her and not say anything and play along until she is ready to reveal herself. They might end up sharing an office and she will assist with the online platform. His office is perfect because it is close to Soo Jung and Ji Seop so she can get close to them.

I think his credentials are legit. He probably just does not want to contribute to the company's success or maybe he is working with Stella and trying to get her into the company, financially. I don't think it's a coincidence that Stella came back to town when she did, when Kyung Chae is in desperate need of funds, and with the Chairman threatening to dethrone her. And how did the information about the failing division spread so widely? But that could have been Soo Jung who did that.

But if he is working with Stella, why not tell her about the company the Chairman is trying to steal from🤔?

It has been really disappointing. I feel bad for his team- he should have at least tried. He insisted on putting his own team together- maybe they are in on it. They seem to really like him. I don't think his credentials are fake, though. He knows what he is doing- he does not want to contribute to Mingang's success, I guess.

🤣🤣 Highly unlikely. I doubt Se Ri even remembers what Mi So looked like. Such is the nature of bullies.

Definitely. Even though he blames her for ruining things between him and Kyung Chae, he might keep her secret. It's not like Kyung Chae has done anything for him. He might want in on the action. Like the Chairman said, Seon Jae is only loyal to whatever benefits him.

Tae Gyeong couldn't even try to make the business a success? What kind of revenge plan is that, especially when the confidential Min family information is at stake? Unless he is working with Stella. Maybe he is sabotaging the business so she can invest and save it? It's a good plan but risky with Seon Jae sniffing around. The only way to get back into Kyung Chae's good graces is to find an investor (Stella), himself, and bring them to Kyung Chae. And Kyung Chae and Stella 'conveniently' already know each other.

Does the Chairman have cancer? That would be an interesting twist- changed will where he disowns his family for new wife and dies. I want him to live- he has to see his life's work go down.

Se Ri has not changed at all. She might even be more dangerous now that she's an adult.

I am not yet feeling the seduce the Chairman storyline- it seems weak right now. But it's only been one episode- maybe it will improve. It would be great to know what other plans they have going on in the background. Hopefully, they are stronger plans.
I think Stella would have done a much better job with the 'first' meeting with the Chairman. She is bubbly, flirty, and has charisma, which would have hooked the Chairman immediately. He would have even asked for her number.

I'm sad that Seol Hui did not reach out to Yeon Ha in four years. That is sad and now Seol Hui has even adopted a Mom in Stella. Worse still, Yeon Ha serves the Mins. But it could work to their advantage because she can hear family gossip.

Su Jeong seems to have matured. I thought after four years, she and Seon Jae might be in some kind of secret relationship but she definitely hates him. It will be interesting to see how her character continues to develop.

For someone who is supposed to be 69, Stella looks younger than she was four years ago 🤭.

Bathed and combed her hair 🤣🤣. I don't think she even dyed her hair. But she does have a different look about her- a wealthy look. But she doesn't have that killer instinct or ruthless look. Stella has that look- she can go from smiling to ruthless in a minute.

I also think Stella will fund the business. So has Tae Gyeong been making it fail on purpose so Stella can swoop in? Have they been working together all along? A major risk- he might be fired now that Kyung Chae is suspicious.

Very true.
I was thinking that maybe the lack of an 'extreme' physical change might be symbolic- while she is determined to get revenge, she, as a person, has not completely changed, and is leaving the door open to return from the 'dark' side. Stella has lived and breathed revenge for 20 years. Seol Hui has been plotting for four years and is also a pawn in Stella's revenge. I wonder how it will all play out, especially when unexpected variables like Tae Gyeong enter the picture.

He died 16 years ago (now 20 years after the time jump) and Stella said he trusted the wrong people while looking at a picture of Kyung Chae. Se Ri happens to be 16 (now 20). Stella also wants to take revenge on the Min family, especially the Chairman and Kyung Chae.

I think, physically, this is the full extent of her changes. What has changed more is her attitude.
So maybe the seduction is meant to be a short-term plan for a greater chess move. Maybe it is to get the Chairman and the company to sign a deal which they cannot easily get out of, which also ensures that they don't try to kill her after the truth is revealed.

Yes- she looks the same- just Seol Hui with make-up and straightened hair. Her attitude is what has changed more. I have not heard her voice yet maybe that has changed too? Maybe the lack of change in physical appearance is intentional?? However, it is an insult to the intelligence of the other characters, like the Chairman. He met and spoke to her and saw her at the ruined event. I'm sure he and Kyung Chae probably have posters of her around. So he should be able to see. He said that he is a very good judge of character- like how he was able to see just how disloyal Seon Jae is- so falling for this trick would be disappointing.

But then again, in A Place in the Sun, the ML (who is Seon Jae here) had a scar of his forehead and came back without a scar and had changed his name. So we just have to believe she looks different 🤷🏽‍♀️.

I still think Seon Jae will spot her first.

Definitely an attitude transformation.

Wow- great point about Superman 😂. Maybe it's because it is such an old show that it could get away with the 'disguise'. And he is an alien so maybe we give him a pass. It is much harder to overlook that Seol Hui is the same person, just with make up and straightened hair. Ideally, they would have gone the plastic surgery route and hired a different actress. But maybe it's intentional that she looks the same?
What has changed more is her attitude.

It will be difficult for him to inherit anything- the oldest brother is the oldest male and he would sooner inherit the company. Seon Jae cannot inherit but if he has kids with Kyung Chae, they can inherit. The Chairman is not one to just give shares away- especially to someone not related by blood.
There has to be a reason why he left his prosecutor job to join the company at this point in time. He could have just joined the company earlier in his career if inheritance was the goal. What could have changed all of a sudden?

I am not a fan of seduction used as a tool for revenge, in general, especially in this case when she will supposedly also be developing a romance with Tae Gyeong. It just makes the love a little tainted. I prefer ones where they use their business acumen and other skills to take them down.

Maybe that's why the revenge is starting so early- they will need to try different strategies.

I really hope Yeon Ha goes too- this revenge requires everyone since the Mins have eyes and ears every where. Yeon Ha is also grieving and needs to be with family. And while we know Stella is one of the good guys, she is still a stranger to Seol Hui- it's not wise to go all that way with her, alone. But Seol Hui is not in her right mind and this is dramaland, so the characters do things that don't make sense.

Maybe Stella will buy Yeon Ha another store to run🤷🏽‍♀️.

After the meeting which was interrupted by Kyung Chae, I don't think Seol Hui and Tae Gyeong will see each other again until after the time jump 😪. From the preview, he will go to the store to look for her but I doubt she'll be there. At least he now knows her name since Kyung Chae shouted it out.

I really hope they don't go the seducing the Chairman route but it's a definite possibility. What if they have Tae Gyeong seduce Kyung Chae too😮. They need someone on the inside and this might be the fastest way 😭😭. They will likely say that she looks like Seol Hui but is not her- just a doppelganger. Many shows have done that. But it will be harder to pull off since Seon Jae knows her well. But Kyung Chae did say, "what can a poor single mother do to them?". To have her come back as herself but now rich and powerful would be far more impactful.

It might be easier for Yeon Ha to seduce the Chairman, though- since people hardly know her🤔.

She is such a great person. I feel so bad for her. She is trying to balance her grief with taking care of Seol Hui who is spiralling. To just leave her alone would be too cruel- she needs her family right now.
I think there might be a birth secret surrounding her since she grew up in an orphanage. I just hope she's not Tae Joo's sister or something.

If she had studied business, she might have joined Tae Gyeong's business team that he is busy creating.

It would be great if they could go with her so she can study too- they need all hands on deck for this revenge- the Min family is far too connected. But I don't think they will take her. Maybe Stella will buy her a store to run or something.
But it would be weird for Seol Hui to go all that way alone with strangers🤔. It makes sense for her to go too, especially since she already told Seol Hui that they should move far away to the countryside. We can hope.

😂 yeah. And since the revenge is starting this early- am sure by episode 20- they will need some good stories to fill up the remaining 100 episodes.
